Question Selecting Windows 10 or 11 from a boot menu ?

[danygood]

Hello
My friend had Windows 10 on an Intel system and now he wants to install Windows 11 on another hard drive but on an AMD system. So he wants to know can he select Windows on boot menu ?
For example, select Window 10 or Windows 11 for starting ?

Thank you

By choosing appropriate entry in boot menu.
Boot menu gets displayed right before loading windows.
You can choose between windows versions to be loaded, if they both are installed on same computer.

BTW - I re-read your initial post and I'm not sure I understand it.

If you install windows 10 on Intel system and
install windows 11 on AMD system, then there's nothing to choose from.

On Intel system it will always be windows 10 and
on AMD system it will always will be windows 11.

He moved the Intel Win 10 to the AMD system?
Or he moved the AMD Win 11 to the Intel system?

Please clarify.

Either way, thats a bad idea.

Being as it's a hack in slash with Windows 10 from a different build the best you can hope for as SOME computers let you hit an "F" key to bring up a boot menu. Mostly F-9, F-10, F-11 or most popular is F-12 there you can choose what device to boot from.

Trying to boot a Windows install from a whole different PC generally does not work.

Again, that's not true. I did it multiple times and it always worked. If it doesn't boot normally at the first attempt, just boot in safe mode once and it will work after that. It's even easier with Windows than Linux (no need to reinstall GRUB with Windows). But you might have to activate it again, however.

Sigh.
Sometimes it can be made to work.
Sometimes not. No matter what you do, and how hard you mess with it.

(and Linux is FAR more accepting of different hardware than Windows is)
